What U.S. State are you and your family most likely to plan a family vacation for?

1. Alabama

2. Florida

3. Georgia

4. Mississippi

5. North Carolina

6. South Carolina

7. Tennessee

People that don’t live in the southeast may not know about some of the travel destinations in these states. I’m sure some are wondering where you go in Alabama or Tennessee to have a family vacation. I think Mobile, Alabama is beautiful and a great choice for a family vacation. In Tennessee, you have the Great Smokey Mountains with places like Pigeon Forge and Gatlinburg to visit. Every U.S. state has at least one place that travelers would like to spend a week in. While a state like Florida has vacation spots all over and you could find a family vacation destination blindfolded in the Sunshine State.

Over in the Carolinas you have the best of both worlds. The family can spend a few days in the mountains and then spend the rest of their vacation at the beach. The Outer Banks vacations may not be as well-known to those families living on the west coast and in other parts of the country. The people living in the southeast know about these Outer Banks vacations and they consider this area as good as any other spot in the southern U.S., for a family vacation.

Georgia and Mississippi both offer vacations along the ocean’s beaches and they both have many other good attractions; that makes a family trip worth considering. The older families that have no kids will love the casinos around the Biloxi area in Mississippi. Over in the Peach State you have Stone Mountain, the World of Coca Cola, and the Georgia Aquarium; which is only the beginning for an itinerary, around the capital city of Atlanta.

You can’t go wrong with any family vacations to the southeast. Warm weather and the sunshine draws people in each year to visit these places in the south. How many of these states have you been to? How many of these southeastern states have you spent more than 2 days in? Let me know about your best and worse family vacations that you have taken to the southeastern United States.
